If you are a rapper and you say that word, sometimes you get a grammy!

Are you stupid? Has nobody ever explained to you how certain minority groups (blacks, gays, jews, cripples) will sometimes "co-opt" a word and make it their own and (sometimes even change the pronunciation slightly) so as to take the sting out of that word when it is being hurled at them regularly/has been hurled at them regularly as an insult? Nobody has explained this to you?

Even if these said minority groups (blacks have the "n" word, gays sometimes call each other f@gs, Jews say things like "you are such a Jew" or call each other that word that starts with a K, cripples sometimes call each other gimps) say those words to each other, that does not make it ok for other people who are not part of that group to say it. HOW HARD IS THAT TO UNDERSTAND???????

I said this in the TB thread but I am convinced Paula Dean is an actress from NY. I have lived in the south my entire life, my entire ancestory is based in NC and GA. And nobody says "y'all" that many fugging times unless they are an actor or actress trying to sound southern.

... Actually, now that you mention it, I wonder how many of the folks out there insisting that "people need to get over it, stop over reacting, & just ignore it" in this case, are the same people who feel "sick of gays throwing it in our faces! They need to just keep it to themselves!"...
